Very sad!😪

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

This week:

-Three more universities rejected Trump's extortion compact
-Over a dozen airports refused to play Kristi Noem's propaganda video
-30+ press outlets refused to comply with Pete Hegseth's new restrictions

The only way to rebuke Trump's authoritarianism is solidarity.

We've all heard that there is no free lunch.

Well, guess what?

There is no free 747 either.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

Just a reminder, the layoffs in govt were just done out of spite, not necessity

Republicans have the keys to the kingdom.

The White House. The Senate. The House.

Tonight, they have used their power to shut down the government.

The American people, including our patriotic federal workers, will pay the price for Republicans' callousness and incompetence.

So “America First” is a $20 billion bailout of Argentina, US economic development of Gaza, and NATO-equivalent security guarantees for Qatar. Got it.

Trump Says a Deal With Harvard Is Close

If Harvard bows down to this lawless president, it will cover itself in shame and betray its motto “Veritas.”

Don’t pretend to stand for truth if you’re going to surrender to this bully. Appeasement only feeds the beast and puts us all at greater risk.

The UK fired their ambassador to the US over his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Meanwhile, Epstein’s best friend remains the President of the United States.

The U.S. government has become a neofascist regime run by a sociopath.

Keeping it funded now is to participate in the most atrocious abuse of power in U.S. history.

So I for one have decided that the best route is to shut the whole thing down.

Recording police is ‘violence’? Absolutely not. Now the Trump administration is trying to destroy the right to document police by labeling it as an attack

In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5. Today it’s 0.7%. Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why. Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.

"If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books, you're afraid of thinking." ~Andrea Junker

Dan Jernigan: "we need to go back to following the science."

Remember when that wasn't a radical idea?

🙌🏽

What blue state is stepping up next? Who’s gonna meet this moment with the urgency it deserves? Who wants to be able to tell their kids and grandkids that when everything was on the line, they didn’t just SAY the right things, but DID the right thing with the power they had?

The new American workplace crisis: Return-to-office mandates lead to a working mom exodus Mothers working remotely often face the “motherhood penalty”—less pay, fewer raises, and limited promotion prospects.

First, Donald Trump used the Marines and the National Guard to support his mass deportation agenda in Los Angeles.

Now, he's using similar tactics in D.C. like a tinpot dictator.

Don't look away. Don't stay silent. If you do, don't be surprised if it's your city next.
